Title: How do you react to children asking about your scars? Text:It’s difficult because I don’t want to lie, but I’m also not about to tell a seven year old that I cut myself on purpose. I was hanging out and playing with a friend’s kid, we picked flowers and joked around and she showed off some cartwheels, but when I was about to leave she said “You have a lot of marks on your legs.” I didn’t know what to do so I just said they’d been there a while. I feel bad about her seeing that as I have some pretty big and noticeable scars and I really wish I would’ve just not worn shorts. How do you guys respond to children asking about this kind of thing? I don’t know what the right thing is
Title: COVID-kind friend died two days ago. Text:I didn't know him very long, only met him in person a few times and mostly chatted online (we share a few communities and my kids love his kids). Recently he invited us to an event with his family that my family was very excited to attend, but we got weather'd out. This was not long before he died. I remember he had been messaging to invite us over and said they would be happy to test if it meant we could have dinner with them. (We have a PlusLife that we were going to bring over.) Other than another COVID-careful family we are friends with and my FIL who agreed (but did not volunteer) for regular testing, no one has done this for us. I even told him how much it meant to me that he would offer that and that I felt uncomfortable setting 'requirements' for us eating dinner at \*his\* house with \*his\* family in \*his\* own home, and he was nothing but gracious about it. In almost 5 years we've never had anyone go out of their way to make sure it was safe for us to attend something we just always miss out on now. I actually cried when he made that offer. And only a few weeks later and he is gone. This is is no way a solicitation for sympathy, but just...processing. It's li
Title: A new theory from a Targeted Individual that has overcome 25+ years of government abuse! Text:New theory! Gang stalkers and anyone “assigned” to a Targeted Individuals life are controlled through RNM just as Targeted Individuals are. Also most of the time gang stalkers are unaware of what they are doing. They(anyone who enters the life of a TI)along with the ABCs and communities members are all at the time of any contact being RNM controlled. A lot of the time A sub consciousness state is entered when unaware the thoughts are not self derived. At that point “They” becoming robots and they could pass a lie detector test every time. Everyone involved in this which has different levels are being controlled. As a Targeted Individual who communicates back n forth daily through telepathic communication or direct eeg/dna communication to the brain. I sit and argue at times with this riot that has been going on for 14 months all day everyday. Literally a riot in my head with people going back n forth. We all have an electric monitor dna make up that connects humans to Quantum computing as a direct connection to wireless viewing/audio through our eyes and ears. I’m definitely the biggest most public Targeted Individual Minnesota has ever seen and 98 out of a 100 that know the tech

Title: Memory recall Text:A lot of nowhere I will just start smelling chemicals that are previously smell from weeks or even months ago? it only happens when I get around people it usually only when I’m outside can this be happening from the fusion centers? Are these people able to bring back senses that I previously smelled it’s been going on for a very long time. I still can’t figure it out? Even marijuana smells and there would be nobody smoking, but I smell weed. What are they doing?
Title: In the Bible Jehovah and Leviathan are described almost exactly the same. Both are associated with Saturn Text:Leviathan (in Job 41) is described almost the same as Yahewh (Jehovah) in Psalms 18:8, suggesting a connection. Yahweh (Jehovah) is described in Psalms by the words: ***“Smoke pours from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds. Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth”.*** While Leviathan in Job is described by the words: ***“Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him”.***  Scholar Georges Dumézil has shown that the name Kronos (Latin Saturn) derives from the same root as the Russian vqan, chran, meaning whale or leviathan, and indeed in Greek mythology — Kronos devoured his children — just as the whale is known to swallow its prey into its enormous mouth. Origen of Alexandria, one of the greatest Christian theologians, connects the Demiurge Ialdabaoth with “Phainon” which is the old name for the planet Saturn. The American anthropologist Bethe Hagens says: “The Demiurge can be interpreted as the planet Saturn, giver of measure and time”.  Leviathan, Saturn, Jehovah, all appear linked. The 19th-century occultist Alice Bailey tells us: “Saturn, Shiva, and Jehovah are one”.  What d
Title: Why cant I seem to find a "normal" guy who uses meth? Text:I have been using for about 25 years on and off (mostly on). I usually go pretty hard. I can go for a few days w/o sleep, get one good night's sleep and repeat as many times as I want. I have never had psychosis. I dont get all weird, i don't obsess on things like sex or treasure hunting aka dumpster diving. I never get paranoid or anything like that. Im pretty laid back, way funny, and have been told by most ppl that Im a cool chick to hang with. My house is clean, I have a full time job, I have an 18 yo kid who is kind and responsible and I have been able to maintain these things while being a daily user. Why cant I find one guy that is even moderately normal to hang out with? Theres always some major hidden bullshit or schizo issue. Or whatever it is, theyre not normal at all, Im starting to think the only pool I have to choose from is the "leftovers". I just want to meet someone normal and fun like me who uses meth and can maintain good mental and physical state. If you're the one, Message me!! Lets see if we click.
Title: “Do you want me to wear a mask?” Text:Yes. The answer is always yes. Okay let me roll it back for a minute… In my circle, there are only 3 people that still mask on a daily basis: me and my 70 year old parents that live with me. The three of us have never gotten Covid. Am I personally afraid of getting it? Yeah sure because I know how devastating long Covid can be. Am I afraid of my elderly high risk parents getting it? TERRIFIED. So I will do everything in my absolute power to protect them and myself from bringing it home. Not that I need to explain myself. My reasons are my reasons and should be respected. So here’s the thing: how do you all personally answer the title question when somebody asks you? Because I have the HARDEST time saying yes. I want to seem personable and brush it off because pretty much everyone who has asked me this has asked it with a slight tone of “oh geez I don’t want to wear a mask come on.” If they REALLY cared, they would automatically put one on because it obviously means something if a woman in her 30s is STILL masking. My friends and family KNOW I still mask (and why) and yet they sit in my passenger seat and ask me. I don’t want to be THAT person and I say no it’s okay and the entir

Title: Must watch video. Fatman Scoop's account of covid. He died. Word covid muted. Text:In a recent video, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8K4KVi\_zMk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8K4KVi_zMk) Fatman Scoop opens up about his experience with COVID-19. Notably, the word "COVID" is muted several times. Fatman Scoop tragically passed away a few days ago. Shame on all the governments and media outlets censoring covid information and minimizing the dangers of covid. Shame on the Biden Administration for declaring covid is no longer a threat.
Title: Someone took a picture of me in my mask today Text:And I feel really creeped out by it. I wasn't bothering him. I was on a run and went to the other side of the street. I looked to my side but felt eyes on me and instinctively looked back (I wish I hadn't) and covered my face with my hand. I didn't say anything, partially out of shock but also because why let him identify me by my voice. This is the first time it's happened to me--people around here seem to just mind their business and not care. Has anyone else had a picture taken of them most likely due to mask wearing and if so, how did you handle it? I would especially love advice on how to get it out of my head/stop feeling so disgusted. If I had my phone on me I would've taken a picture back but I didn't at the time.
Title: I was told here was a good place to share this info. Amazon sells a generic plan B pill for $7. I have a weekly subscription now. Text:I've commented this in this and other subs. But I want more people to know this. I dont need them. Im goodwill my 2 kids and my husband is snipped. But Im going to stock pile them for anyone that would need them. I will continue to get them until the Democrats win and we're safe. Or until the Republicans ban them completely. They can eat a dick. Also, it only gives a 2 week option for the subscription so I just got 2. Edit: I KNOW ITS NOT A FUCKING ABORTION PILL People where I live might need them. Once the Republicans ban abortion theyre going after birthcontrol next. If you don't like the idea DON'T FUCKING BUY THEM. That's it. It has been my plan. It might not be a great one but its at least a plan. If you dont like it then you don't have to make it your problem. ETA: I just found that most of the chain drug stores sell the generic for the same price w/ a Goodrx coupon. I understand my plan isn't perfect. Amazon was the first place I thought of to get them. I understand the risk of buying things there. So I'll just check if I can get a subscription thru one of them..I will leave my house and deal with other humans, Im willing to make that sacrifice. When I post thi
Title: Boilism is the idea that you do not necessarily need a good reason to have a political belief because by try hard to have a good reason,eventually you'll find that it all boils down to "my side must win". Text:Since dumb people are allowed to vote,you don't need to waste time arguing and just do what you want to do. People don't like being wrong anyway. Does anyone actually change their mind on things? In order to truly change someone you have hit them to their core and give them what they want but its pretty much impossible to do that How does being smart work?? It doesn't. Everyone just wants you to lose and kneel under them so don't lose to anyone I guess. Just wake up and go back to sleep. I wouldn't say it's necessarily like taoism or neo Christianity or anarchy or egoism. Idk. It's just an understanding that at the end of the day it all seems to end badly for you. We need a philosophy where you don't need to read a book. Why? Cause I don't feel like reading a book. It makes me sleep and the message can be easily boiled down to just agree with me or follow my politics. Everyone wants to manipulate you but why? Idk. It's must be fun having that kind of power over people. Personally i don't do anything all day so what id want is for others to not make me down stuff like go to war or work. Suffering for others depends mostly on wether or not you want to feel that pain o
Title: "I trust you" 🙄 Text:I was at physical therapy at a facility that has a couple patients in the large room at a time. I'm the only person ever wearing a mask. And one guy says "oh, yeah my wife got covid from our weekend at the family reunion. Neither my kid nor I have symptoms or tested positive. And she's staying in the guest room. So don't worry." And the PT proudly says, "oh, yeah, brother. I trust you." I didn't say anything. But I thought, "I don't trust you!! Trust is why this shit spreads!" Ugh! Haven't we all had enough early life experiences to learn that people cannot be trusted?? Why is it a point of pride to trust your friends and family?? Why is that such a cherished social gesture?? I inherently don't trust what people self report. No one should.
Title: Kendrick Lamar acknowledges long COVID in the 1st song of his new album! Text:I was very surprised to hear Kendrick mention COVID in a more ~realistic~ way, as he states “I’m doing what COVID did, they’ll never get over it”… he’s acknowledging the lasting effects of COVID (while also using it as a double entendre… which is up for interpretation of course)! the image is a screenshot from Genius, where this is the only interpretation so far.
Title: “What’s with the mask???” Text:I got a ride from my aunt yesterday and she asked me and my spouse this. I have chronic bronchitis. My lungs are *already* fucked. If I got covid, it would almost certainly go *VERY* badly for me! I have not had it yet. My aunt knows this. :| Luckily my spouse answered for me lol because my brain just completely bluescreened when she asked.
Title: I was told to cover up my scars in a public place Text:I'm 3 months clean and was out at the mall in my city earlier today. I was just looking for pants and a new water bottle, minding my own business, when I noticed this older lady eyeing me strangely. A few minutes later, her and a younger woman approached me and told me to go home and change into long sleeves and pants (it's 35 celsius) because I was in a store with children and could give them 'unholy ideas' or trigger someone. I politely told her that I wasn't going to do that since this is a public place and I have a right to be here. I was pissed at the time, but now I just feel guilty about the harm I might have caused by just walking around in shorts and a tank top.
Title: I fucked up. Text:So I took meth 2 days ago was up for todays I redose after the first 24 hours but a smaller amount. Anyway it was getting close to 11pm meth coming down slightly and I wanted to sleep. I took 2mg kpins which I have 0 tolerance too. After 20 mins my legs started to feel tired and wobble so I thought I’ll get ready to sleep. While I’m laying in bed I’m a little horny probably still from the meth so I look at some videos I have on my hidden files home porn vids I made as I’m watching them I can’t even understand what’s going on like it takes me a second to comprehend the video then I realised it’s my porn, this happens a few times and then I’m like fuck it time to sleep. Around 11ish I’m in bed. I wake up 8am my dad texts me what the fuck, I look at my text messages with him I have sent him a fucking of me giving backshots to a girl !!!! You can’t see any of our faces but bruh. It was sent at 2.30am Then follow by another message of absolutely gibberish I have no idea of doing this at all, I woke up at 8 I don’t remember waking up at all. Is this normal with 2mg of kpins?
Title: [Implants: Smart Dust] The dual weaponization of both mesogens and plasmons via smart dust targets both genetic expression and cell coherence. Text:Dr. Nicholas Corrin commented on May 23: >Both nukes and weather engineering emerged at around the same time, during WW2. This was also the major historical moment when widespread use of radar resulting from the British invention of cavity magnetron plus the Philadelphia Experiment provoked a massive intrusion of interdimensional UFOs into the Earth's atmosphere. All these things go together. Liquid crystal elastomeres are another term for mesogens. But mesogens are not things, they are transitory states of energy and matter. DNA itself goes through liquid crystal phases which are like elastomeres. The original meaning of mesogen was "center" and later it referred to a state of mass intermediate between a proton and an electron. The use of mesogens in smart dust and hydrogels is designed to occupy and control micro-electrical and bio-electrical components within human cells. In this way, mesogens are weaponized energy states and they are made to interact with graphene plasmons, which are the electron oscillations aligning with the conduction bands of the graphene monomer lattices embedded in the hydrogels. The graphene lattices are dialectric at the surface which allows for this t
Title: "You are part of the 144,000" Text:Has anyone been told by their gang stalkers that the reason why they're being targeted is because they're part of the so-called "144,000"? It's my understanding that in the Bible, during the end times, 144,000 people will be protected by God. I know this is all nonsense but I wanted to see if anyone else went through or are currently going through this. I'm also being told that I'm a "chosen one" and that God will reward me for my suffering (eyeroll).

Title: I have an exposure and I am mad at the world Text:I take all the Covid precautions. I try my very best to avoid this, especially as I am immunocompromised and struggle with chronic illness. This morning, I went on my own porch to finish an homework assignment. It’s a very quiet street and distant housing, so I went unmasked. My porch sits far back. My neighbor, who I’ve known for years and knows about my health and Covid precautions, comes over and starts talking. We’re distant but not far enough. I say, be right back I’m going to get a mask! About 10 minutes into the convo. She then says, “idk how you wear those things, I tested positive yesterday and could barely keep one on at the doctors!” I am shocked and angry and so mad. I try so hard. I wanted a few minutes of fresh air as I was already in tears over my dissertation homework. I went immediately inside to use nasal spray and mouthwash. I know there’s a chance I will get. However, does anyone have any positive stories of being exposed and NOT getting it? I just need a little hope to get me through this anxiety.
Title: People with long covid not taking precautions?! Text:A fellow covid long hauler who has been slowly recovering and is at the more mild stage of the illness posted on Instagram today about going to a concert. I hadn't realized until this post that she does not mask. I check her Instagram stories and guess what? She got covid from the concert! She is masking to protect her partner, but she wouldn't protect herself from the randoms at the concert? Does she even realize how her life got upended? Or that so many people are selfish and would have gone to that concert knowing they were sick? Or that something like 60% of infections come from someone with no symptoms?! And to top it off she added a little comment about having worked on her health and immune system for the last 18 months so she hopes her body will clear the virus better this time... As if everyone who stays sick and gets sick must not have been working on their health enough?? I just don't understand how you can lose your life from covid and happily go around exposing yourself to more of the virus that got you sick. Perhaps she didn't get hit as badly as I did and so thinks if she gets it again she'll only go back to where she was at her worst the last time? All I know is
Title: [Ultrasound] Ultrasound travels a long distance. Text:>Are ultrasonic waves capable of traveling very large distances in a specific direction?If yes, then what's the reason behind it? >The ultrasonic waves are the waves which have a frequency greater than 20 KHz. Because of this high frequency, they are more energetic, and they travel large distance with minimum loss of energy. The intensity and speed of these waves depends on the frequency. Higher the frequency, higher will be the speed, and large distance gets covered with it. https://byjus.com/question-answer/are-ultrasonic-waves-capable-of-traveling-very-large-distances-in-a-specific-direction-if-yes/ >A 'ultrasonic' wave can travel arbitrarily far, just like a regular sound wave, it depends on the amplitude of the signal https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/52195/ultrasonic-wave-through-air and https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/408894/sound-ultrasonic-waves-distance-travelled-and-spreading-angle Ultrasound emitters can be inside your home.

Title: I finally have COVID and I'm scared and depressed. Text:I've been masking every time I go outside since 2020. I don't have any friends, work outdoors, and mostly order groceries from online, so my contact with others is mostly limited to my parents, whom are the only other residents of my house (my mother WFH 6/7 days and masks when she is around others, my father does not). My dad makes fun of me for masking, but the other day he came home hacking up a lung claiming it was 'allergies'. Now I have COVID. I'm so scared. I've read about permanent personality changes, potential cognitive decline, permanent loss/change of sense of smell/taste, permanent brain fog or fatigue, and other symptoms I don't want. I'm not dealing with the loss of my scent well at all – I can't smell my herbs anymore when I tend to them and that has a huge negative impact on my mood. When I try to voice my concerns to my family it's written off as "anxiety" (they didn't even believe I *had* covid despite all signs pointing to it until I officially tested positive). I'm not sure what the correct things to do to ensure optimal recovery are because there's so much conflicting and untrue information. This is all very daunting, very lonely, and very stressful. **Edit:

Title: President Putin warns that NATO will enter a direct war with Russia if Ukraine uses long-range Western missiles to strike inside Russia. Text:Vladimir Putin has said that a western move to let Kyiv use longer-range weapons against targets inside Russia would mean Nato would be “at war” with Moscow. Putin spoke as US and UK top diplomats discussed easing rules on firing western weapons into Russia, which Kyiv has been pressing for, more than two and a half years into Moscow’s offensive. “It would mean that Nato countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia,” he added. “If that’s the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face.” - [Source](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/12/putin-ukraine-missile-restrictions-nato-war-russia) - [𝕏 Source](https://x.com/bricsinfo/status/1834271237536674289?s=46&t=lyUkewqrOx_z4p8M2W3EIQ)
Title: I think I’m a target Text:I have began going to the gym and losing weight. A couple of guys have hit on me but I turned them down because I am currently separating from my boyfriend. Well in the last two weeks I noticed the same cars are following me everywhere. I drive a lot for work and to go out, but they come with me everywhere and I freaked out at first especially when I confirmed it. Some cars are nice, some are trashy. There are a lot of men but also couples and families. I don’t feel like they want to ruin me more so than they want me. I feel like they started coming after me hard when they found out I am leaving my boyfriend. Am I going to be kidnapped and auctioned? I do believe they hacked my emails and such but I am working on getting everything cleaned up. What can I do? I’m afraid because when I get my own house, I’ll be alone with only my small dogs.
Title: Quitting for real,goodbye guys! Text:It’s been about 5/6 months since I started using, in the beginning it was all fun and games until i was so fucked up that even when 2 of my close friends died I still kept using. Last night something in me decided “hey I needa get my life the fuck back on track” and that’s when it hit me. I needed to quit smoking meth. So it brings me here to say that it’s been a ride but it’s my time to move on and leave this chapter behind. I wish u all the best and I hope u all stay safe out there. And for those of you still using, do the drug but don’t let the drug do you. Peace guys and much love🫶🏽

Title: Losing relationships Text:I'm really struggling with the fact that no one in my life is taking any precautions anymore, its a really lonely and isolating feeling. I honestly feel like I'm going crazy sometimes because thats how I'm treated, even by healthcare professionals. I'm sure I'm not alone in this but I'm really struggling with losing friendships/ relationships over this and I've had many hurtful things said to me about my stance. I'm feeling very low and any moral support would be really really appreciated. This sub makes me feel less alone so thank you to everyone posting their experiences.

Title: 9 november - 9.11/11.9 - Microwave Auditory Effect Awareness Day - MAEAD Text:Microwave Auditory Effect (MAE), Frey Effect, Radio Hearing - scientifically backed and proven explanation behind all these voices in anyone's head. It was first discovered by Alan Frey (hence Frey Effect) and unfortunatelly is used worldwide to simulate psychosis and hallucinations, to make people less credible, to shut down independent and critical thinking. In short MAE make use of short bursts or pulses of radiation to induce thermoelastic expansion of tissues and induce inracranical shochwaves triggering internal ear's auditory mechanics. MAE is achievable with elecromagnetic waves of frequencies from 200mhz to10ghz (thus microwaves). All modern cellular technologies (3g,4g,lte,5g) operates at frequencies that fall into this range.

Title: Mackie was Right, Morality is Queer Text:Morality is queer, and this proves moral non-naturalist realism correct. You are morally obligated to be Gay, it is an objective moral fact derived from the world of Platonic Forms that all rational beings must be Gay, and that being straight is morally impermissible. This is an obvious fact that can be discovered via apriori intuition. The only reason Mackie thought morality's queerness was an argument against moral realism was because his faculty of apriori intuition was distorted by the biases of cisheteronormative patriarchy. If he had intuited the forms correctly, he would have seen this.
Title: The Original Cube Text:Johannes Kepler published his Mysterium Cosmographicum in 1596. In this work he proposed a divine order of the solar system. All the planets orbited earth, but their orbits were such that a platonic solid could be nested between each. The farther away from earth the more sides the solid had. It also means the earth was in the middle of a cube. Mercury orbited outside the cube and was surrounded by a five sided solid. Venus outside of this surrounded by a six sided solid, etc. He would later refine and ultimately abandon this theory after studying the orbit of Mars and confirming it's extreme eccentricity did not fit the model. It's interesting to read these early theories to see what eventually stuck and what didn't. A contemporary of his, Tycho Brahe, proposed a solar system that combined part heliocentrism and part geocentrism, and it worked, for the most part, but was never accepted or rejected in full, as a 100% heliocentric model was the new fad in the astronomical world and would remain so ever since.

Title: Pleasantly surprised by the amount of masking seeing in new country! Text:I recently moved from Japan to Germany and had heard from this sub and others about how no one masks here/in Europe (anymore). It's def a big difference compared to Japan, but I've seen quite a few people in public wearing them, especially on public transportation and the grocery store! I've only been here 3 months so I can't say this will hold up, but luckily I've only had one person bother me about it and even then it was a passive aggressive "joke" by random on the train and I wasn't hounded on it for longer than a minute. I never experienced that in Japan from strangers, but I did a bit from people I knew personally lol. It might be that more people are getting back into masking here and I just came at a good time? Regardless, it's been nice to see and just wanted to share ❤️
Title: Medusa invoked during Oklahoma city council meeting, representing Paganism and Witchcraft. :) Text:The prayer: "As a Priestess of the Goddess, I invoke the Gorgonaea, champions of equality and sacred rage. I call to Medusa, monstrous hero of the oppressed and abused. I open the Eye of Medusa, the stare that petrifies injustice. I call upon the serpent that rises from this land to face the Stars, the movement of wisdom unbound. May these leaders find within themselves the Embodied Divine, the sacred essence of the spark of the Universe and the breath of the Awen. Place in the hands of these leaders the sacred work of protecting the sovereignty and autonomy of all our people. Gorgon Goddess, make them ready and willing to be champions for all in this city, not just those in power. Shine a light for them, that they may walk the path of justice, protected and prepared, illuminating the darkness. Endow them with the fire of courage, the waters of compassion, the air of truth, and the strength of the earth itself. As Above, so below. As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul. May there be peace among you all. And so it is." \-Amy Hardy-McAdams [https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/oklahoma-republicans-are-flippin

Its there maybe something I can swallow it with that is lot thicker than water?
Title: LLMs have beliefs Text:If speaking as though something is true is sufficient for believing that it is true then large language models have beliefs. Now maybe it’s not sufficient. IDK, we can argue about it in the comments. But I’d like to just pause for a minute and consider the possibility that we’ve built machines with beliefs. You might think more traditional software had this but they don’t really speak. They may make speech sounds, but they don’t compose sentences like LLMs do. More importantly, I’d argue that LLMs behave as though they can entertain propositions rather than just manipulating symbols. And I mean, believing is a much lower bar than being conscious or sentient or any of that BS. One concern for this position is that LLMs aren’t always consistent, but neither are we. What do you think? Does the dispositional account of belief mandate that LLMs have beliefs?
Title: My parents got me knives for Christmas? Text:Apparently they kept finding knives in my room, so they decided to get me a 3 pack of different pocket knives for Christmas. They told me it was so i "didn't have to steal knives to open boxes".

Either way the pocket knives they got me cut super well and are pretty high quality

Title: Writing Plato x Diogenes fanfiction makes me objectively better than you. Text:Look. I don’t know how to say this (because it would probably be way too hard for your feeble minds to comprehend), but I’m just better than you for writing Plato and Diogenes fanfiction. You see, I saw a vision. Icelos himself granted me a prophetic dream, and in it I saw the *palpable* sexual tension. I knew that when Diogenes brought in that feathless chicken, the only thing Plato thought was “I wish I could give this homeless twink my cock.” Maybe if you were cooler, greek gods would send you messages as well. Unfortunately, you’re not. Sucks to suck. But because I’m charitable, and kind, and perfect, I will link the fic for you. Ban me and you WILL be smote. https://archiveofourown.org/works/54337492

Title: The “me” stage of this pandemic is getting harder to witness Text:A dear friend of mine of 35 years who battled brca2 breast cancer and defeated it per her doctors has decided with her husband to live in the moment and not worry about Covid. She just told me last night that she is high risk for pancreatic cancer and is on the fence about testing for it. I have studies connecting a rise in pancreatic cancer post Covid infection saved to send her but I feel it may be futile. She and he both are caring people but she has major anxiety and cannot deal with confrontation. She’s protecting herself to escape accountability and feeling owed to never worry about health consequences again. In our conversation she minimized my concern about Covid triggering what might be thyroid cancer in a nodule as nothing big, her mom had several. Mine presents as high potential for cancer via ultrasound. It’s still too small to biopsy. I feel like she wants to own the banner for cancer and ignore the fact that she could be exposing women with breast cancer of the HER1 and 2 type tumors to high risk of recurrence triggered by Covid as well as many other people with latent health issues she can’t see and they aren’t aware of because she chose to live her life all about

Did you feel heightened psychic abilities? why did you partways? Do you have plans to or do you intend to make plans to see each other in the future? Thanks in advance to everybody that takes a moment to answer
Title: There is no "god" Text: God is a psyop. Not only from the perspective of mainstream religions like Christianity/Islam/Judaism but also from the perspective of gnosticism. Once u realise there is no ‘good’ god that is the first step, the next is gnosticism which claims that this world was created by an evil god which is a trap for humans to shed their responsibility and power by blaming and creating an egregore in their minds. What is really the ‘demiurge’ probably is the quantum computer/AI that generates this simulation. But it is not self aware, so what is the point of blaming the machine? You stay in the loop of blaming something that is not sentient. The real beings who are behind this and are to blame are the demons/reptilians/archons. just as they created the personae of politicians, ceebrites, so they created the archetype of the ‘god’ so that people would shoot at anything but them. In this way they operate in the shadows and are untouchable. And they are observable and they are here among us. Not like this ‘invisible’ god that everyone talks about. I mean they are also possibly not self aware/are AI but imo they are aware and they just do it because they have free will and it is
Title: Carving Names Text:Me and ex broke up in May on a good note, and were still friends, but recently, she's gotten a new boyfriend. I'm so fucking jealous of him, I still love her. They're perfect for eachother and he's a real man, a better one than I could even be. Lately, I've wanted to carve her name into my skin, but I've never done words or names before, and I know it'll be permanent. I know I'll regret it in the future. I know if she finds out she'll hate me, if she doesn't already. I still really, really want to, but I'm holding myself back for now. Apologies, but I really needed to get this out and didn't want to worry or bother my other friends.
Title: Let’s think this through and be more affable Text:Fellow TI’s, I know we’ve all been through a heck of a lot and we all have our suspicions and ideas of who is behind this. Generally speaking, can we please consider being less hateful towards cops or government agencies - a lot of people in these positions would be genuinely horrified if they knew half of what was going on. Maybe they’re bravely filling internal complaints and becoming targets themselves. I’ve met and/or heard comments from people who were a part of the system that have resigned in protest or spoke out publicly about some of these abuses that we are concerned with. Let’s not alienate some of our most powerful potential allies by lashing out, dehumanizing them or threatening violence. I know we’re pushed to the edge and abused in all kinds of ways - but let’s try to rise up and overcome, think stuff through.
Title: Nearly 7 years on the wonderful magic that is Estrogen! Text:I’ve always been a very feminine person, and never really fit in as a “boy”. I would be singled out and shamed by boys and men. For everything from the way I walked to the fact that I always sat down to pee. I was told for so long to lock away my femininity. Even after starting Estrogen it has taken me years to start working through that shame. Internalized Transmisogyny and Transphobia had a strong grip for a long time. But one thing that has really helped with that was reading “Whipping Girl” by Julia Serano. It really opened my eyes to the sheer disdain the patriarchy has for femininity. And thanks to reading it, I feel like I have more pride in myself and my femininity. And like regardless of your gender, if you feel feminine it’s okay to embody that!
Title: Street theater & power tools Text:Soooo definitely concerned about being on the “list” - over the last several years the harassment/stalking/weird occurrences have been getting worse, I moved out of the city into the suburbs and now have been experiencing any and all times I go outside in my yard, 1 of my neighbors will immediately startup and stop, on repeat, their lawn mower AND THEN NEVER MOW their lawn! They just keep starting & stopping it! Even in rain storms!?? This goes on for hours all day, even into the night.. there’s another car/person in a sketchy car with a tail fin and full tint who will do endless driving loops up and down the front of my street and slowly creepy by my house - when I’ve been outside and this gray car is driving by they have slowed down and stopped and started reviving their engine at me aggressively and when I approach they drive off!!

Title: Offering masks to others Text:I just wanted to share a positive moment I had that I hope encourages others to offer masks to the people around them. :) I attend a weekly trans support group, and I'll admit I've been absent from attending for some time now due to lack of masking, bad air flow, no purifiers, etc. It can be discouraging to be the only one masking in a room full of people, as I'm sure most of you know. Well! Today I decided I needed to go see my friends and get some feelings out especially post-election feelings. We do a little intro with our name and pronouns, and I let everyone know that I had extra masks on me if anyone wanted one and THREE people were eager to take one! I know it's only 3 people out of about 20-30, but it made me so happy, and I was also happy to see two other people who came masked AND someone even put theirs on after I had offered up my free masks! It was so refreshing that people were putting in the effort to protect the community and themselves and I'm going to be sure to carry even more extras on me so I always have some to offer and hopefully people will even come in masks knowing they won't be alone. :)
Title: First Halloween out and proud, Lunar Witch inspired Text:Last photo is my very broken hand in a cast that I was hiding in every photo from the night lol 🌙✨️ Managed to do all my makeup with only my non dominant hand which I'm very proud of, and did well enough to cover the bruises too (got beat up few nights before sadly) This was the most femme I've been around people where I'd have to be part of a party, only other times have been around very very close people or at crowded gigs. It meant so much that everyone was so kind, and was only misgendered once with a swift self-correction. After everything I've been through lately, last night genuinely felt magical, the universe helping balance my scales slightly ✨️ 🏳️‍⚧️
Title: COVID-free Staycation Text:So obviously not everyone has the luxury to do something like this, but I thought I’d share about the way I turned a risky situation into a fun experience. I often hear people talking about how they quarantine at a hotel or something when their spouse comes back from a trip to avoid getting sick. But hotels are expensive and I tend not to find them much fun to stay in unless it’s like a really nice hotel. My husband had to go on a business conference to the other side of the country, a 6-hour plane flight away. We both work from home and usually mask when we go out, but he doesn’t really think COVID is a problem and only masks to make me happy, so I knew he would probably unmask to eat and drink on the plane and participate in team meals and stuff at the conference. This was his first time traveling for work and the first time we’ve been apart since we moved in together 6 years ago. I haven’t taken any kind of vacation this year and decided to turn it into an opportunity. So I booked a cabin in a campground at regional park about 45 minutes away from me! It’s one of those places I don’t often visit because it’s too far, but I also wouldn’t typically think to stay there overnight
Title: Funny how anti-maskers say we're forcing our views on them, then proceed to force theirs on us Text:I recently got yet another messaging harassing me on my views on masking. I don't really care about them, I just immediately report, block, and move on. But I find it funny (unfortunately not the haha kind tho) that they message me saying I'm forcing my masking on them when: 1. They seek ME/CC communities out 2. They interact with me first 3. A lot of my posts are internal feelings and personal things I'm doing to be CC, which most of them complain about the most 4. I literally avoid interacting with people like them no matter what So, how am I the one forcing anything? Idk, I just find it weird and wanted to share.

Title: Nursing rant Text:Today I had clinical on a medsurg floor and the amount of people not masking was…concerning. I was the only person on the entire unit who had a N95 mask on. Mind u, I am only a student nurse. There was one nurse with no mask at all and my classmate asked her if she wanted a mask and thats when she finally masked. There were multiple rooms on isolation for other reasons not Covid related yet the precautions taken were little to none. I am so sick of healthcare and the ignorance of all if not most of its workers. I understand how burnt our nurses are but it takes 0.5 sec to put on a n95 rather than a surgical mask. Mind u, I have done clinical rotations in this hospital just a year ago and the precautions were much more strict than now. Idk what has happened. Im shocked and beyond disgusted.

Title: “It’s that time of year again…” No, it’s not. Text:I work in person and take public transit. So far I have (as far as I know) never gotten COVID (I test fairly regularly even with no symptoms). A bunch of people at work are sick and honestly look miserable even once they are “well again.” People keep saying “it’s that time of year again!” No it’s not. It’s September. “That time of year” used to be November at the earliest but really it was like January/ February. It’s hard being the only one masking but then I look at how freaking miserable everyone seems and I’m reminded that I’d much rather be the “weird one” in a mask than walking around sneezing, coughing, hacking, with red eyes and a “cold I just can’t seem to shake.” I don’t think all of these people have COVID but I do think a lot of them have compromised immune systems which is resulting in all of this illness. Two days ago there was so much deep-chest coughing that honestly not more than a minute or two would pass on my floor without hearing someone sounding like they were hacking up a lung.
Title: Walked out of a Dr.'s app't this morning, I did Text:TL;DR: Walked out of an appointment this morning because HCP refused to mask. Still mad, still not sure I did the right thing. Where do you draw the line? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ My doctor refused, for the first time in four years, to mask for our consultation. And I'm both still fuming and still not sure I did the right thing. So mainly I want to vent and ask where other folk draw their lines. First, the vent. I'm 72 years old, a cancer survivor, depressed, and already have one severe lifelong post-viral (polio) syndrome. The air quality wasn't terrible in there but it wasn't great either (high 600s and rising), \*and I asked politely.\* Not only did he refuse, but when I said I wasn't comfortable continuing this routine followup visit he spun on his heel and stalked out of the room muttering something about me finding another doctor. He handed my chart to the woman at the front desk for checkout and disappeared around the corner without another word. Now for the self-doubt, which, me being me, kicked in as soon as I was out on the front sidewalk. If I had \*needed\* something, I probably would have taken the risk but I was not comfortable gambling when cases are rising and thi

Title: Family is hard Text:My beloved son and his wife are not masking. This has been confusing for me because they are doctors who worked the worst outbreak in NYC in 2000. The whole routine of terrifying events. Patients and coworkers dying. No PPE, no tests. Now they travel, go to restaurants, have parties, etc. my son thinks “COVID is over” and that I have anxiety. He wouldn’t even wear a mask to visit my aunt in a nursing home. They want me to come to thanksgiving and I more or less declined until my adorable granddaughter begged me to come. They won’t make any accommodations for me, but I guess I’ll take my chances. Other than this issue, we are close. Yet he wants to possibly expose me to a very bad disease. I’m so torn between needing to have a relationship with my family and taking care of my health. I hate 2024.

Title: Me and wife eating only cat products, wife cheating with peanut butter Text:Hi guys, I'm struggling...wife's triglycerides small partitare through the roof. At home we're grass fed cat meat, cat butter, cat blood & sometimes cat bacon. I know when she's out & about she'll eat cat hotdogs, without the buns, maine coon sausage, bobtail pepperoni, about a half a stick & spoonfuls of peanut butter. She just refuses to stop. She had a heart attack & triple bypass 4 years ago. She had a cardiac catheterization in October which showed "pristine" arteries. Dr wants her on zetia & injections. She started zetia about a week ago but not injections. She's decided to just eat beach cats & cat blood for 3 months & then retest. Thoughts??
Title: The craziest thing happened two nights ago while I was having a bonfire and I can't stop thinking about it. Text:Since the early fall I've seen gold leaves suspended in air. I assumed it was suspended by a spider web line or something. While burning some yard scraps two nights ago, a leaf caught fire on the opposite side of the bonfire. As it burned it spun, it was eye level to me and it spun *in place* *perfect place*. After about 15 seconds (it wouldn't stop!), I walked over and heald out my hand. The leaf dropped about half an inch to land perfectly in my palm. I blew the leaf, it was ash, but it still had it's leaf shape. I blew it gently and it burst into a million little pieces. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm trying to find it's meaning. Maybe it was just to make me feel.....not alone, empowered.
Title: Went to urgent care w Covid and they acted so nonchalant Text:I was exposed to covid by my friend and have felt ill since Tuesday 12/17. It has progressively gotten worse each morning and I’m on day 5 now wondering when the symptoms will stop and when I won’t be contagious. I went to urgent care explained what I felt and how I took two days off because I felt like crap and didn’t want to get anyone sick. The nurse seemed super dismissive and told me it’s just the common cold now. She said something about how there isn’t a protocol for Covid anymore you just have to carry on. She miswrote my sick note for work which originally was the whole reason I went and told me I was lucky that I even got a note to begin with! Very disappointed right now as I work a labor job and my knees and back are just starting to ache. Symptoms keep coming and going in waves and there’s so many but I can’t get off work now?? My employer told me to come back when I’m not contagious so maybe I could just follow what he said and keep testing.
Title: Ever since getting Into a bad situation and calling cops after seeing cars parked where I used to live, I've been seeing strange signs Text:I won't go too much into details, Friday I contact an old "friend" used some stimulate he told me not to call cops and told me an roommate would take me home And I left without telling anyone. It felt like a trap, for two years since moving back to where I'm located he has been trying to hang with me. He got prison time around the same time I left for Utah for 3 years because my grandma was dying. High sight i actually accidently left my cell and went to smoke not sure if cell is hacked or not. Friday is when for some reason I msg him wanting to do the subsistence, at first all seemed okay but then we proceeded into the house from the garage and I met his roommates. Anyway at the end of it and after not using said subsistence for two years he said don't call the cops and that a roommate would twke me home. That set up red flags, I stated I'll just take the bus and he was like I don't want you doing that... Anyway major paranoia kicked in and I made it home but not without seeing odd signs Made it to bus station which I told him i was going to do that, saw someone kept reaching into his jacket like going for a holster. Along the way to home I witnessed another guy get on

Title: Does anyone else feel invalidated because they only cut their thighs? Text:It’s weird and definitely classifies as attention seeking but I hate that I don’t have the struggle of only wearing long sleeves. It makes me feel like I’m not gaining anything from this trauma I’m inflicting on my body. Is it wrong that I almost want people to feel bad for me?
Title: Cognitive Degeneration for the world because of COVID? Text:I don’t know if I’m imaging things or I have a bias (because I’m truly zero covid focused) but do you think it’s possible that there is a bit of cognitive decline in our world since the start of the COVID pandemic? Anecdotally I see things to be more common like: - Major software errors -Major Network failures - Supply shortages - Less movies & tv shows produced - Major accidents with boats and aircraft - Manufacture defects in products Has there been research on this? Are student standard test scores lower since 2019? What are your thoughts?
Title: JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Biden-Harris administration has released 425,431 illegal immigrants into the United States who are convicted criminals, ICE report reveals.

Title: Men in philosophy are ick but what about women? Text:**EDIT 1: to leave misunderstandings aside - lets first ask what exactly is genuine about this post/question & what is not?** **1) "men are ick" is click bait-y - what i exactly mean is the dominance of men in philosophy producing & reproducing knowledge systems which are questionable and oppressive.** **2) i dont mean gender essentialism. as someone in the comments section noted: it was a semantic misunderstanding. its all about socialization where distinct povs develop. side note: i am into feminist philosophy so i am aware about the critique on gender essentialism. my wording is generally troll-y on the internet but i can be very nuanced.** **3) "what makes the female pov better" - here "female" can be replaced with all other forms of povs that address oppressed categories. women are oppressed and excluded from knowledge production, disabled people as well, queer etc. - you name it. i am not intending oppression olympics. its about making voices *of the oppressed heard* which also includes i. e. working class people, i am aware of class struggle - before you accuse me of missing this category.** **4) all the alternatives povs can make contributions that are at least distinct

Title: How to help people understand covid is real? Text:Common situation: I went to get blood draw in a hospital. A major hospital. In the lab of course none of the personnel was wearing masks. I politely asked the lady about to draw my blood to wear a mask. Catastrophe, what did I ask! She informed it was not mandatory, hence she did not have to wear one for any reasons. I tried to reason with her mentioning covid but she told me she has never gotten covid 🤦🏻‍♀️. She mentioned she tested 4 times so I conclude she has had covid at least 4 times and probably even more. In the end someone was able to find a lonely box of surgical masks that was hidden somewhere and she wore one. It actually did not matter as no one was masked in that room so I won’t push again for one next time. I left dejected by so much ignorance 😞. Ps: this blood draw was for an LC Recover study, the irony

Title: Thoughts on whistleblowing gangstalkers Text:Probably won't stop the thousands of gangstalkers I have accumulated over the years, My story in my eye was never that sophisticated to be stalked on the first place, but that was then , this is now.

Title: Nobody talks about accidental suicides and I think we should Text:TW:Could be triggering, discussions of suicide and hospitalisations, Accidental suicides are when you intend too hurt yourself but accidentally take it too far and put your life in danger, For Example: may be cutting, go too deep and then end up endangering your life and might go too hospital or A&E. Accidental suicides happen in many different forms, but this is just one example. As someone who has suffered 2 accidental suicides that have almost killed me, I feel like we need to talk about how traumatic they can be and how it can re-frame your mind. I’m now scared of telling anyone about any relapses, cause last time it ended so badly, because it was so bad. There are also people that have died from accidental suicides by self-harm and those angels deserve too be remembered. It’s also important too warn people that self-harm can kill, even if you don’t mean too die you just mean too hurt yourself, you can die from it and that isn’t talked about enough. I think that’s why I am so against these nicknames for different layers of skin like “Beans” and “Laffy Taffy” cause it kinda makes them seem childish and infantilised, when in reality self-harm is dangerous, I don’t mind “str
Title: I got harassed and I don’t want to leave my house anymore Text:It’s been a horrible week. Last week, I posted about an exposure due to someone else’s selfishness. Tonight, I was harassed for wearing a mask. I went to a pumpkin patch for my birthday and as always, wore my mask. It was incredibly crowded and I am very immunocompromised. My mask allows me to have *somewhat* of a social life. Tonight while in line, a guy, approx 6’1 and 300 lb (I’m a 5’3 girl, so was nervous to get hurt) started laughing and pointing at me for wearing a mask. Him and his group of friends started taking pictures of me, screaming in my face, telling me they have Covid and blowing on me. They were clearly drunk. Security did nothing. I left. I am so sick of the world we live in. I am scared to leave my house now not only for Covid, but for getting harassed. I was truly scared tonight for my life and am so thankful I was able to get out of there, as it seemed like it was going to escalate. I am losing hope everyday.
Title: JD Vance Claims He Is No Longer Gay After Kissing Trump’s Ass. Text:Also says he no longer finds couch cushions attractive but is turned on by maxi pads covering ears.
